The purpose of this study was to develop a textile component system that could be added to a compression garment to achieve body posture that more closely resembles an ideal balanced posture. The approach of this study was to find a middle ground of posture correctors and compression garments by combining structural support elements with garment compression to achieve effective posture modification as well as comfort. To achieve this goal, a Posture Modification System using Soft materials structures (PMSS) was developed by experimenting with textile elastic bands to mimic the structure and placement of anatomical postural features (muscles and spinal column) of a woman’s back torso. For prototype development, a bodysuit type shapewear garment was used to incorporate the PMSS and a wear test with female participants was conducted. To assess posture changes through body angles, participants were 3D scanned and questionnaires were administered to determine wearer acceptability. Body angle assessment indicated that wearing the prototype positively affected posture changes including more balanced shoulders, more aligned lateral center of gravity, and straighter spine. As assessed with a questionnaire, the prototype achieved higher wearer acceptability in terms of posture, body shape, and fit compared to the shapewear without the PMSS. This study shows the potential of developing the soft structural posture modification system for use beyond the lingerie category. Furthermore, more aligned postures exhibited by participants wearing the PMSS enhanced garment while carrying loads indicate potential in developing soft-structured posture support garments for load-bearing situations in industrial and military settings.

这项研究的目的是开发一种纺织组件系统，该系统可以添加到压力服中，以实现更接近理想平衡姿势的身体姿势。本研究的方法是通过将结构支撑元件与服装压缩相结合，以实现有效的姿势修正和舒适度，从而找到姿势矫正器和压缩服装的中间地带。为了实现这一目标，通过试验纺织弹性带来模拟女性背部躯干的解剖姿势特征（肌肉和脊柱）的结构和位置，开发了一种使用软材料结构 (PMSS) 的姿势修改系统。对于原型开发，使用紧身连衣裤型塑身衣结合 PMSS，并进行了女性参与者的磨损测试。为了通过身体角度评估姿势变化，参与者接受了 3D 扫描，并进行了问卷调查以确定佩戴者的可接受性。身体角度评估表明，佩戴原型会对姿势变化产生积极影响，包括更平衡的肩膀、更对齐的横向重心和更直的脊柱。根据问卷评估，与没有 PMSS 的塑身衣相比，原型在姿势、体型和合身性方面获得了更高的穿着者接受度。这项研究显示了开发用于内衣类别以外的柔软结构姿势修改系统的潜力。此外，
